Can't swallow my saliva



Recommended Posts

I've just had my 8th fill and now up to 6.9 ml/cc. Everything seemed fine first couple of days. Tonight though I've eaten some meat that wasn't the best quality and it got stuck. So I went to the bathroom about 5 times to try and bring it up. I thought I had got it all but I now can't drink Water without having to sick up. I'm now scared to go to sleep because I can't even seem to keep down my saliva. Something must still be stuck but I can't seem to dislodge it, any ideas of what to do?

If you haven't done so already, call your surgeon's office ASAP. This sounds like a bad situation to be in. I hope they will be able to give you prompt relief.

You're likely very swollen. Agree with the poster above. I hope you went directly to the emergency room or spoke to your surgeon.

That sounds just me today, ate 2 small strawberries and couldn't swallow water 20 minutes later kept bringing it up. Definitely seeing the doctor in the morning to get some fill out!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I really wanted to avoid having any fill taken out. I have heard so many stories that once you do that you are back to square one and usually gain weight before getting back on track. The reason I've had 8 fills is because my doctor has been so cautious and I felt sure 0.2ml/cc couldn't have affected me that much as the day before had been fine.

My gut feeling was that some food was stuck and that's why I couldn't swallow liquid or saliva as it was just layering on the top. No matter how many times I tried to sick it up I was only bringing up Fluid. In the end I took a few large gulps of Water and then brought it up along with the bit that was stuck.

It is tighter but definitely manageable and I am personally pleased I managed to sort it out as I dread the thought of the rocky road of having to have fill taken out. Thanks again though for all your messages.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
